Impact of Migration on Poverty

Elizabeth over 9 years ago

We are currently working on a poverty study, and have observed that the percentage of residents migrating to our county and migrating away from it are different than the percentage of residents below the poverty threshold in our community. Does anyone know if there is a way to determine how this migration potentially impacts the overall poverty rate?

We are trying to explore a similar question--are people in poverty being pushed out of our county. I have been learning PUMS data for a poverty study that we are working on. Would it be possible to use DataFerrett and the MIGPUMA10 and MIGPUMA00 variables to search our county's neighboring PUMAs to see if individuals at or near poverty lived in our county in the last year? That is do these variables in DataFerrett provide the same information as the MIGPUMA1 variable in IPUMS?
